Apparently, he can't be English. If we'd lived in the country for over 5 years he would be.

And I thought he wouldn't be automatically French, being born abroad, but it seems I was ill-informed. Or maybe it's one of those laws that hasn't had its application decree just yet. Whatever, the consulate said he was French.

I wouldn't have minded dual citizenship, but if it takes 5 years it's unlikely to happen, even for a potential sibling. And I'm not sure Elwan could get it even then without losing his French citizenship.

I guess I should...

(note as I reckon the changes backdate: for a long while it was Brecht's ominous warning "The womb that spawned that thing is fertile yet", which in this context reads funny. Maybe spawned that boy, and will be fertile again soon hopefully, but it doesn't work all that well as a quote then).
